Comment on FR Doc # E8-09269

I am a resident of Kootenai County, Idaho. I am in favor of allowing the practice of field burning, particularly the grass fields on the Rathdrum Prairie. When I moved to the area years ago, I was aware of the practice and still chose to live in an area where the wind carries the majority of the smoke. I feel that it is unfair to place restrictions on the grass farmers who burn their fields during a relatively narrow window of time when the general public is allowed to burn slash, yard waste and wood stoves nearly year round. I feel that the opposition to agricultural burning is from a small yet very vocal group of recent transplants who should have done their due diligence before moving to the area, rather that moving here and and then trying to change the character of the area to something it is not. Sincerely, Mike Henkoski
